Did you check the routing table ?  Maybe your default route is not properly 
set.
Enter the comand "route" and you will see the routing table. I cannot explai
n
with a few words, what routing is. If you don't know it, look for network ho
wtos
in the web.

Have you configured a firewall ?
try "iptables -L" and "man iptables" for help.
All policies have to be set to "ACCEPT" (This is very insecure, but might be
 a
reason, why ping replies won't reach you).
